CONAKRY (Reuters) - The number of suspected Ebola patients in Guinea has more than doubled from last month, the health ministry said on Thursday, highlighting a "fourth phase" of the epidemic after a dip in cases in early 2015.

The worst outbreak in history, which has killed more than 10,000 people in West Africa, appears to be on the wane, especially in Liberia where there are no current cases.
